Led by industry professionals and inspired by both popular classics and contemporary musicals, the groups are inclusive and open to all abilities, developing skills in singing, dancing and acting and working towards public performances.

Based at one of the busiest theatres in the UK, participants get a sneak peek in to the workings of a real theatre with opportunities to go on backstage tours, work with our Associate Artists and visiting companies, and get discounted tickets to see what’s on.

In the July 2019, we presented a spectacular showcase in our Patrick Studio celebrating the Hippodrome’s 120th anniversary, bringing the theatre’s dynamic and diverse history to life through acting, dance and song. The production included pieces from The Lion King, Billy Elliot, Twelfth Night, Hairspray and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
